Abstract
A suction sound damper for a refrigerant compressor is disclosed, having an inlet, which is arranged to be connected to a suction port, and an outlet, which is arranged to be connected to the refrigerant compressor, and also having at least one damping volume. It is desirable for a suction sound damper of that kind to be of simple and inexpensive construction, and to contribute to increasing the efficiency of a refrigerant compressor. For that purpose, it is formed from a first and second half which define an internal space in which the damping volume is arranged, the first half having projecting into the internal space a gas deflection wall which, at least over sections thereof, forms a lateral limitation of a flow path free from throttle points between inlet and outlet.
